## Description
In Dollars to Donuts, you'll dive into the delicious world of a donut shop, where the goal is to assemble the most perfect treats and satisfy your clientele. The game is a charming tile-placement puzzle where you buy and position donut tiles on your 6x6 shop board. The trick is that the tiles come with half donuts on their edges, and your challenge is to match them to form whole donuts. When you connect two matching halves (like two sprinkle halves), you earn a scoring token of that flavor. If the halves don't match (a plain with a chocolate, for example), you draw a dollar tile from the bag, which can be used to buy more tiles later. But beware: jelly donuts don't give you a dollar if paired with a non-jelly donut, because, well, who would reward that? The cool thing is that you can even let tiles 'hang off' the edge of the board, expanding your possibilities. At the end of your turn, you can use a dollar tile to complete a donut or fill a space with 'donut holes,' which also scores points. On top of all that, you can serve customers waiting in line by delivering scoring tokens that match the donuts they want, which earns you even more points! The game ends when a player completely fills their shop or the donut tiles run out. Final scoring considers satisfied customers, neighborhoods served, leftover donuts, and donut hole pairs, but you lose points for empty spaces. Whoever has the most popular shop wins!
